They gather a bunch of people who hate Israel and those people "testify." Surprise, surprise: the "investigation" finds everything everyone says to be credible and accurate.
The committee whose entire purpose is to investigate Israel - the only such committee in the UN - doesn't even investigate Israel. It just regurgitates anti-Israel propaganda, and there is no shortage of people willing to "testify" on that score, since they know that no one will actually do any fact-checking.
So for example, some unnamed "journalists" testified that they were "targeted" by Israel while covering protests. Were they, perhaps, also participants? The UN doesn't care.
Even though Israel doesn't cooperate with this farce, that is not reason to rubber stamp any anti-Israel statement that is made without a modicum of checking newspaper accounts or official Israeli press releases. Or the veracity of the "testifiers."
This committee was created in 1968. That's Which means that there has been 49 years of obvious vilification of Israel at the UN.
But when it was created, it had a different name. The UNGA resolution that created this committee, 2443, called it the "Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Population of the Occupied Territories."
Because in 1968, no one - not even the UN - ever heard of the "Palestinian people."

The usual Zionist propaganda that is so easily debunked. The Palestinians were calling themselves the people of Palestine, in writing in official correspondence with the British Colonial Office.

CORRESPONDENCE
WITH THE
PALESTINE ARAB DELEGATION
AND THE
ZIONIST ORGANISATION.
Presented to Parliament by Command of His Majesty.
JUNE, 1922.
LONDON:
Sir,
We wish to express our thanks to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, for his courtesy in allowing us to see the draft of a proposed Palestine Order in Council embodying a scheme of Government for Palestine, and to discuss the same in our capacity of representatives of the Arab People of Palestine.
Whilst the position in Palestine is, as it stands to-day, with the British Government holding authority by an occupying force, and using that authority to impose upon the people against their wishes a great immigration of alien Jews, many of them of a Bolshevik revolutionary type, no constitution which would fall short of giving the People of Palestine full control of their own affairs could be acceptable.
We would, therefore, submit the following observations:—
If the British Government would revise their present policy in Palestine, end the Zionist con-dominium, put a stop to all alien immigration and grant the People of Palestine — who by Right and Experience are the best judges of what is good and bad to their country — Executive and Legislative powers, the terms of a constitution could be discussed in a different atmosphere. If to-day the People of Palestine assented to any constitution which fell short of giving them full control of their own affairs they would be in the position of agreeing to an instrument of Government which might, and probably would, be used to smother their national life under a flood of alien immigration."

Mandatory Palestine was a geopolitical entity under British administration, carved out of Ottoman Southern Syria after World War I. British civil administration in Palestine operated from 1920 until 1948.Wikipedia

In other words, by 1922 when this letter was written, the region was already under the Mandate, and the Palestine the Arabs were referring to was the region, the Mandate, and not a country they had ever control over, or ever thought about before that Mandate occurred.
This letter was after taking away any and all lands from ever becoming sovereign of the rightful indigenous people, the Jewish Nation.
These Arabs had no issues with the Ottoman Occupying Forces for the 400 years before this letter. They reached out to no one. But then, the Arabs had been one of the invading occupying forces which took over from the Byzantine from the 7th Century on.
What was there for the Muslim Arabs to complain about as long as they were being occupied by Muslims?
What, Monti?
No document, book, report, letter, etc with any Arab referring to the whole area as Palestine, or themselves as the People of Palestine?
No European visitors before WWI ever referring to them as such, even after speaking to any one of them?
LOL. You mean like the Manual for Palestinian Arabic published in 1906, for English speakers Europeans included. You people crack me up with your propaganda. And you are the funniest of the lot. I think you actually believe the bullshit propaganda you post. That's the saddest part of it.

"Palestinian Arabic" is still Arabic. It does not refer to the Arab people
living there as a distinct people. As Palestinians.
The stamp refers to the region of Palestine, as the Ottomans and others sometimes referred to the land.
Still, no distinct Palestinian people, Arab, Druze, Bedouine, Jewish, or otherwise.
The Arabs were always referred to as Arabs. As Christians or Muslims.
And not as a distinct people, indigenous of the land.
The only people referred to by everyone as the indigenous people of the Land, and that includes the invading Muslims, Crusaders, Ottomans or British, are the Jewish People.
The Palestinian People/Nation continues to be missing from your evidence.
